With his debut album Troubadour shooting straight to #1 on the ARIA Country Album Chart and staying there for five consecutive weeks, Taylor Sheridan is the local country boy ascending into the Australian music scene as a luminous force. Hailing from Kyneton, Victoria, Taylor’s musical journey lies rooted in the heartland of Australia.

With a repertoire that impresses, Sheridan has mesmerised audiences at some of Australia’s premier music festivals as well as sharing the stage with music legends like John Farnham, Gladys Knight, Pete Murray, Daryl Braithwaite, Dionne Warwick and Vanessa Amorosi.

Now joining Jimmy Barnes on all Australian dates, Taylor Sheridan continues to blaze a trail in the music industry. Promising to enchant audiences with every note, Taylor continues to redefine the landscape of acoustic music in Australia and beyond.

Never one to slow down, Jimmy Barnes has always been a fighter...the son of a Scottish boxing champion, a survivor of a violent childhood and was once part of an Adelaide band who battled tooth and claw for six years, so it’s only fitting his new album and tour is appropriately DEFIANT. Having notched up an unprecedented 21 #1’s on the Australian album charts (15 as a solo artist and 6 with Cold Chisel), the DEFIANT TOUR follows Cold Chisel’s triumphant The Big Five-O anniversary 2024 tour and sees Jimmy hitting the road with his 9-piece band as he brings his DEFIANT album to life.

Jimmy has just released the double single ‘New Day’ and ‘Beyond the River Bend’.

Don’t miss the mighty DEFIANT Jimmy Barnes with his 9-piece band and special guest Taylor Sheridan live this June!
